FERRULE.-

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 521,765, dated June19, 1894. Application filed May 20, 1893. Serial No. 474,866. (Nomodel.)

' To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. GASKILIJ, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ferrules, whichimprovement is fully set forth in the following specification andaccompanying drawings.

My invention consists of the formation of a ferrule with an inturnedseat for the point thereof, whereby the latter is firmly supported onthe former, and securely connected therewith, said point having itsupper portion hollow, so as to occupy said seat, and said forrule or thebody thereof having a base which joins the same and strengthens thelower portion thereof, as will be hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of a ferrule in primarycondition embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinalsection of the ferrule in condition to receive the point. Fig. 3represents alongitudinal section of the ferrule with the point connectedtherewith. Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of a ferrule embodying myinvention.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

Referring to the drawings: A designates a ferrule. having aninturnedgroove or recess B, and a reduced neck 0, which latter depends from theinner wall of said recess, the latter forming a seat 0' for the upperhollow end of the point D, the neck 0 being within said point. The lowerend of the ferrule is pressed inwardly against the point as at E;whereby-the point is securely connected with the ferrule and sustainedupwardly in a firm and durable manner on the seat B, it being evidentthat as the recessB is of the order of 40 a crimp, it provides a strongstructure for the seating of the point D, while the neck (J supports thepoint in lateral direction.

In the formation of the ferrule I form the conical tube with a reducedend a, shoulder 5 crimp above the bottom of said body, as

shown in Fig. 2. The part D is then inserted in position and secured byforcing-in or contracting the lower end of the ferrule, as seen in Fig.4. The lower portion of the body has the base piece c.joining the sidethereof, thus 5 5 vastlystrengthening said portion, and preventinginturning of the lower edge of the reduced portion and consequentloosening of thepoint D.

Having thus described my invention,-what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A ferrule having a body formed of a reduced portion on its lower end, aninturned recess at the place of junction of the wide and reducedportions, a hollow point having its upper end seated in said recess; anda base on the lower end of the reduced portion closing said end.
